Anyone ever notice that there’s rarely anything written about R/GA that doesn’t have to do with new hires, business wins, expansion and the like? What’s the deal?

And though drug culture is nothing new to the ad world, we suspect that if that kind of thing is going on, there’s probably a lot more we don’t know about.
